phone

It’s a long shot…

“I left my phone [similar to the one above] in a mini-bus taxi on Camden Street [Dublin] on Saturday night. When I later realised my phone was missing, a friend called my number and a guy, saying his name was Dan, answered it. He said he found it in the taxi and would return it to me the following day, Sunday.
I’ve bcalled the number he gave but it’s going straight to voicemail. I’ve also had friends text the number and there’s been no reply. Perhaps my friend misheard him when she took down the number? Or he lost his own phone? He was heading to a party in Leopardstown [Co Dublin] when my friend spoke to him. My phone is also going straight to voicemail…”

Anyone?

UPDATE: Olga writes: “His name wasn’t Dan, it was John! He has it and I’m collecting it after work tonight…”

“Artist Joe Caslin perches on a window ledge at the Spanish Arch in Galway, after completing the installation of one of his Our Nation’s Sons images, for the launch of the 26th Galway Film Fleadh. The Film Fleadh opens tomorrow.Joe’s project, which involves displaying large scale drawings of young men on public structures, draws attention to the large number of Irish young men who are pushed the the very edges of society, creating within them feeling of neglect and apathy.”

“You might be interested in featuring this video about Limerick-based tattooer Ross Nagle (above) and a book of tattoo flash/tattoo art he’s publishing called Stab City. Ross really deserves a lot of credit for trying to raise the standard of tattooing in Ireland. He’s a modest guy but this book is a pretty big deal (perhaps only from the point of view of someone interested in tattooing at least) and I think he deserves a clap on the back. To help clarify: ‘Flash’ refers to sheets of tattoo iconography which were originally intended to be mounted on walls for customers to choose from. Lately ‘flash’ has become something collected – as a kind of outsider art I guess – in its own right. I have no financial or business connection with Ross, his shop, the publishers of this book, etc…..

Scenes from the Ireland Vs Australia tag rugby tests at the weekend in UCD Belfield.

Kieran Ryan writes:

“Ireland played Australia in a series of International Tag Rugby Tests at Uthe weekend; Men’s, Women’s, Mixed Senior (Over 30s), and Mixed Open. Each of the teams played each other twice, so there were 8 Tests in all.
Australia won both of the Women’s Tests and both of the Mixed Senior Tests but Ireland managed to defeat the Aussies in one of the Mixed Open Tests and one of the Men’s Tests. Basically, Ireland defeated Australia, the inventors of Tag Rugby and current world champions, in two International Tests which made it a very proud day indeed for Irish Tag Rugby.
The Australians will now tour Cork and Galway before arriving in Limerick on Thursday ahead of the next set of international tests which will take place in Old Crescent RFC, Dooradoyle, Limerick next Friday afternoon.”
